Venomous Russell's Viper Rescued from Mumbai Metro Line 3 BKC Station
A venomous Russell's viper was found and safely rescued from the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) station of Mumbai Metro Line 3 on Tuesday morning. The snake, about two to two-and-a-half feet long, was spotted near the A5 entry-exit point in the underground basement area. Wildlife rescuer Atul Kamble, assisted by security staff and forest officials, removed the snake without disrupting metro services. The reptile was later released into its natural habitat following Forest Department guidelines. Rescuers noted the snake appeared weak, possibly due to heat and dehydration before the rains.
